Ok. So I've read the UGB sticky on setting releif and the one on intonation and still need some advice.

I've got a Les Paul so it's a Tuneomatic bridge and when it was restrung I think the shop (giving away free strings!) put a higher guage on.

So now the action at the higher end is a bit high for my liking. With all the types of adjustments that can be made where should i start?

Does this sound about right:

1. Add some relief
2. Lower the action by dropping the bridge
3. Set the intonation

Checking that it's tuned properly etc all the way through.

I've never done this before and REALLY don't want to stuff my Goldtop ha ha!
